The place is nice, the room was amazing. But we did not feel welcome, since we checked in we feel that the time to leave was more important than our pleasant time there. Check in time is at 4pm and check out at 10am, since we booked we request late check out so we can rest after our valentines night ...

  • Requirements state you must wear a face mask at the airport, including at security checkpoints. You should be prepared to lower your mask to verify your identity when asked by a TSA employee.
  • Instead of handing a TSA officer your boarding pass, place it directly on the scanner yourself. Then, hold it up for inspection.
  • You can take one container of hand sanitizer up to 12 oz (350 ml) in your carry-on baggage. You'll need to remove it for X-ray scanning.
  • Empty your personal items from your pockets, such as your wallet, phone and small change, and put them in your carry-on rather than the bins. This will minimize handling during the screening process.
  • If you want to take food through the security checkpoint, put it in a clear plastic bag and then into a scanning bin. This reduces the likelihood that a TSA officer will need to handle your carry-on bag or food container for closer inspection.
